The Sub-Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal or administrative action (whether in equity or at law), proceeding, hearing or examination that is not incidental to its duties under this Agreement or which, in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability for which it would not be reimbursed hereunder; provided, however, the Sub-Servicer may, with the consent of the Master Servicer, undertake any such action, proceeding, hearing or examination that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the legal expenses and
22 |
costs of such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Sub-Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed to the extent the Master Servicer is reimbursed therefor by the Trust.

The Sub-Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon mutual consent of the Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer and payment by the Sub-Servicer of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Master Servicer in connection with such resignation and transfer of servicing, or (b) upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Sub-Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Sub-Servicer pursuant to clause (b) shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer, which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Master Servicer.

With respect to the responsibility of the Sub-Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Sub-Servicer acknowledges that the Master Servicer has acted in reliance upon the Sub-Servicer’s independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 3.05, the Sub-Servicer shall neither assign or transfer this Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, without the prior written approval of the Master Servicer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Each indemnified party hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnitor of matters which may give rise to liability of such indemnitor hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnitor of any liability except to the extent of actual prejudice.
